Washington the other day. He was
interviewed by Statesman reporter
IN regard to annexation, and said
Senator Stewart has not given up
hope of carrying his scheme through.
A bill will be presented next Con.
gress for that purpose. The plan is
to give the panhandle" of Idaho to
Washington Territory. Utah will be
divided by line which will be an ex.
tension Of the present line between
Idaho and Wyoming. That portion
of Utah east of that line will be Civ
en- to Colorado; the western portion
and also Southern Idaho to Nevada.
Then bills will be presented to admit
Washington, Montana and New Mex
leo Territories, and the southern part
of Dakota Territory into the Union,
the grounds for believing that the
bills will be successful being the ex-
pectation that Washington and South
ern Dakota will be Republican and
Montana and New Mexico Demo-

"Did you make any effort to pre-
vent its passage, that is, when unani-
nous consent was asked in order that
it might be passed without being re-
ferred to the committee?"
"No."
"Did MIR. Dubois?"
"No. But it would have no effect,
as Senator Stewart had matters SO
neatly arranged that had an objection
been interposed the committee would
have reported the bill favorably in ten
minutes"
"Did you or Mr.. Dubois attempt di-
rectly or indirectly to induce the
President to veto the bill?"
"No, SO far as I am concerned, and,
as to Mr.. Dubois, know ofsno effort
OH his part"
"Did anybody else, other than Gov.
ernor Stevenson, protest against it?'
81 can't answer that question"
"What do you think of the scheme?'
The whole thing was cut ani dried
and unless the people of Idaho want
to see an end to her identity they
must go to work and create senti.
ment that will leave no room fol
doubt about how they feel"
